I won't be at the Innovation Exchange now as it's clashing badly with all the CLG digital mentor meetings. But my colleague Nikki will be there (who manages our associates) so please do say hello.

Mike - Sorry to hear YoMo will be no more.

Good luck with what comes next, and keep in touch; we're always on the lookout for good youth participation associates.

Stefan,

Thanks very much for clarifying this. I have to point out that this wasn't Giles' mistake, but one I introduced upon proofing which I'm sure I will not hear the end of in the office!

OL has worked with NCC to hold the iChIS source code over the past few years, and are very happy with the service which is why we've worked with them to provide this facility for evince. Howvere, as both comments have pointed out, should a customer require an alternative provider of escrow services we are happy to meet this requirement and you should make sure you're totally happy with any service offered before ticking the escrow box in your procurement.

With a widened and more integrated agenda, it is true that there is increasing overlap with heavy-hitters who are specialists in other areas such as education. However, we still feel strongly that to fully meet the requirements of the information duty, local authorities need to look to specialist suppliers who can deliver both the understanding and capability to support CIS' in the implementation of the Childcare Act. A smaller, faster company can often deliver more innovation and greater customer focus, than a larger supplier, and in a fast-moving policy landscape this should be a key concern in choosing your partners.

We would expect that our track record of delivering the iChIS system and the CCL infrastructure at both a local and national level for many years, bears out our capability and professionalism as an IT supplier. We have been underpinning over 100 CIS' with IT infrastructure through the CCL contract and we will be maintaining the same levels of service to local authorities going forwards with evince.
